  • Installing Windows with a System Image from a different computer...driver issue?

    Hi Everyone,

    I am attempting to restore a Windows 7 image from one computer to another. I understand that the 'Backup & Restore' functionality, which I used to create a system image, is not intended to be used between different computer models, however I am giving this a go anyway. I have successfully installed the image backup from computer 'A' to computer 'B' however computer 'B' is presenting a BSOD, as shown below -



    I was able to find some information online related to this error, it mostly pertains to Windows XP, but I believe that it is still relevant.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/324103

    I strongly believe that the issue relates to drivers, so I am wondering if there is 1). Any 'low level' way of adding relevant drivers to a Windows 7 installation without booting into Windows at all?, 2). Whether alternative drivers could be added to the system image?

    Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind Regards,

    Davo

    bsod 0x7b can be caused by an incorrect sata controller setting.

    If your system image has the sata controller mode set to AHCI and your motherboard has a different setting, this will cause the 0x7b bsod.
    This will also happen if your current sata controller mode is changed in the bios (with a working system) and you reboot, such as after a bios flash.

    With older motherboards the typical sata controller options are AHCI, RAID, or IDE.


    You haven't provided any detailed information about your computer A or computer B hardware setups.
